I'm originally from Sligo, on the northwest coast of Ireland, but I've been living in Dublin for over 10 years now. I live just off James's Street, beside the Guinness Storehouse. I love hanging out with friends, meeting up for dinner and drinks or catching up at home. I also do some voluntary work in my spare time with one of the world's largest humanitarian organisations.

I've travelled a lot over the years, independently throughout Europe and also a good bit of North-eastern America. I love meeting new people and new experiences and had so many cool ones myself when traveling. My family home in Sligo is also a B&B and I still help out there when I can. So all of this is what has brought me to Airbnb.

Having lived in Dublin for over 10 years now I know a lot of the things to do and places to see, including all the off-the-beaten track spots aswell. So if you choose to stay in my place during your time in Dublin I hope you have a great time :)

Reviews From Guests

Gavin was a great host. He was there to greet us and gave us a map of the city. When we saw him during our stay he was nice and friendly. His flat is nice and spacious. It is close to the train stop which made it fairly easy to get around. Overall, we had a nice stay.

Felt at home from the getgo! Great communication in advance and warm personal welcome at the super nice flat. Gavin is a fantastic host who gives you all the necessary advice to find your way around Dublin. We could not have thought of a better way to spend three days in Dublin. Flat is clean, room and bed are perfect, breakfast just perfect to start your day. Highly recommended!

We were very happy with our stay at Gavin's.
The penthouse is as described. Our room and bathroom were very clean!
In spite of the fact that Gavin works full time and is a student, he still is available and willing to give guidance on Dublin's sights.
We had a wonderful time!

Wonderful location, warm welcome, Gavin did a great job making us feel at home in Dublin. He took the time to show us places to visit as well as suggestions for places to eat. We were free to come and go as we wanted, and were given free use of the kitchen. Nice and laid-back!

We thought the view of the Wicklow Hills from the flat was amazing when we saw the pictures and it was! Our host made us feel very welcome indeed and gave us ideas about what to do and where to eat out, during our brief stay in Dublin. He had information from the tourist office that was very useful. As it was light until quite late we felt relatively safe walking back from a pub in the neighbourhood, but Gavin sensibly suggested we used a taxi after dark.
It was great to relax and have breakfast when we were ready (unlike a traditional B&B where meals are at set times!) Gavin left us plenty of food in the fridge. The room was very comfortable and it was great to have our own bathroom.

Gavin hosted us for 3 nights just as we arrived in Dublin. He went out of his way to assist as we had a few problems when we first arrived. The penthouse is a great location with easy access to the red bus and the Guiness Storehouse. Everything was clean ,our own bathroom and breakfast each day. We enjoyed our stay and found Gavin good company.
